How do you prepare for an investment banking internship?

Posted by admin on June 28th, 2010

So I’ve got an offer for an investment banking internship which starts in a couple of months. Should I be doing anything right now to prepare?
eg. brush up on excel skills, revise DCF, research the company obsessively, keep up with market news?

   All of those things.
   You are on the right track, trying to make sure that you are adequately prepared to work there. An internship, in my experience, should be treated like a job, and you are doing just the right things to ensure that you will do well there working.

   However, keep in mind that an internship is a learning experience and they are there to teach you! Don’t worry about not knowing everything, they expect that. Just make sure to know as much as you can about what you’ll be doing, and go from there.

   Best of luck!
